The deep, rich color of 'Beaujolais' is sensational paired with pastel sweet peas.

They also bloom over a longer period, sometimes into fall, where summers are mild. Caution: Parts of this plant are toxic if ingested.

    Height missing from description

    I purchased these and am looking forward to planning my garden. Came to the site to find out the height because it's not listed on the package. If it's not too much trouble, please add that bit of information for people unfamiliar with the plant. Another option is to add it to the website description. Thanks for your consideration.
